Debut of Thomas Darnell’s blog!
Little dude decided to start making movies. This one’s all about squishy things. I had absolutely nothing to do with the making of this, just put it on his site for him. He’s VERY excited to finally have his own website!

**October 2023 Update: Thomas has their website offline currently at they transition it to a portfolio for Game Design.**

That’s one semester finished! 🎉
I asked how it felt to be done. Thomas says it feels pretty good and he wants to sleep. ❤️
I’m incredibly proud of Thomas for his laser focus on what he wants to do, and the end goal.

Basil update. We love Chad Basil the First. He’s not a lap kitty, but he tolerates me and Thomas loving on him lots. Basil loves his cat tent and tunnel. He goes out just about every morning to sunbathe, and bird and bug watch.

Thank you to Inova Apartments for the fun Tacos & Ritas event today, and for the lovely towel. Being vegan, I expected not to be able to eat. How lovely that the beans, rice, and soft taco were vegan! It was so incredibly good!! Thomas and I had a great time meeting fellow residents.

Thomas and just finished something we began about a year ago … All 7 seasons of The Clone Wars. Every Wednesday after dinner we watched 3 episodes.
We enjoyed doing this together, so very much. And we were thrilled when The Mandalorian tied in with this.
Thank you to my Jr High School friend, Lillie Powell Salsberry, for suggesting that we watch. She and I were huge Star Wars fans, back in the day. We were official members of the Fan Club. That was back when everything was through the mail. We received posters, and official fan club goodies (which I still have!) Love you, Lillie! ❤️🎉❤️

Subbing in Nightingale today (1st – 3rd). Sweet Katherine gave me a compliment note! I have so much respect for teachers. There’s no way I’d want to do this every day, yet I love and enjoy being here for the teachers as they need me!

Just back from giving my “Why She Doesn’t Talk Like Us” Presentation to Lillian’s 3rd grade class. Added some new material this year since this is the 3rd year in a row most of her classmates have heard this. Lillian was my assistant this year ~ hope to hand this torch over to her next year or the next!
